Best solution for delivery process in FSM

[Gianluca7]

Hi,

I need to define a technical solution for the process of delivering assets from the warehouse to the point of sale (location), including order preparation, DDT generation, tracking and handling. The aim is to minimise customisation and make the most of what is available out-of-the-box via the FSM module. Possible solutions include using a transfer order or extending the task table by creating a custom table. Which solution is preferable? What are the pros and cons? Are there any better solutions?

Regards

Sorry can you explain this solution?

Hi @Gianluca7 

You can use Service Locations and Distribution Channels to simplify inventory management instead of maintaining a strict 1:1 stockroom mapping for each store.

When multiple assets need to be moved from one location to another, you can create Transfer Order Lines (TOLs) under a Transfer Order (TO). Each TOL represents a specific asset or quantity being transferred.

In this setup:

• Service Locations define where the assets are required (stores/sites)
• Distribution Channels define how the assets are supplied (e.g., warehouse, direct delivery)
• Transfer Orders (TOs) handle the movement between stockrooms
• Transfer Order Lines (TOLs) manage multiple assets within a single transfer

Ok thanks, but how can I model Stockroom, Service Locations and Distribution channel to reach the movement of assets from a stockroom to a location usin Transfer Order?

Hi @Gianluca7 

I mean if you want to use service location and distribution go ahead with solution as well but you can not able to associate directly with TOs.

but if you want to use the TOs then you need to customize the little bit to handle the Asset movement Logistic part like create one custom table inherited by task and that particular task record will refer to that TOs so that you can track.

Why customization? Is it possibile to use TO for movement between stockrooms and define distribution channels rules to route assets from the destination stockroom to a specific service location?
